They are most definitely my muses. I love to observe them, to witness each species characteristics and culture, their distinct forms, figure, flight pattern and personality traits. A Scrub Jay is different in personality and energy than a Blue Bird. Chickadees run together in a tight flock, and Ravens pair off with a partner for life. Each one unique and wonderous. Here I have been charmed by the most common of birds, the American Robins. I always admire their upright stature, sleek feathers and of course their red russet chest that seems to say \u201chere I am, look at me\u201d. They spend time both on the ground hopping and browsing and in the trees chatting and communing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutbirds.org\/guide\/American_Robin\/overview\">(here is a link to hear their song and calls)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3260\" style=\"width: 3310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3260\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3260\" src=\"https:\/\/lisathorpeartist.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/11\/robin2.jpg?resize=1100%2C1400\" alt=\"Robin2\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1400\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Robin 2 (Hark to the Hour) 11&#215;14&#8243; fabric and paper collage<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The thing is, for me to observe their busy-ness, I have to stop and be still. To hear their call and song I have to be quiet. To create these little odes to the American Robin I have to stop and consider them carefully to be quiet with them, to spend time creating this space for them in the form of a fabric collage. So, thank you robin, wren and bluebird; thank you raven, flicker and sparrow, you remind me to be still to be in your time not my time and you animate my creative verve.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3261\" style=\"width: 3310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3261\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3261\" src=\"https:\/\/lisathorpeartist.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/11\/robin3.jpg?resize=1100%2C1400\" alt=\"Robin3\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1400\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Robin 3 (Song and flight) 11&#215;14&#8243; fabric and paper collage<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>I have developed this into a mixed media retreat so you fabric artist and quilters out there please invite me to your quilt guild to lead a workshop on making your own bird box fabric collage contact me through my website at <a href=\"http:\/\/lisathorpe.com\/\">lisathorpe.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To see more in the Bird Box series see past post about <a href=\"https:\/\/lisathorpeartist.wordpress.com\/2019\/01\/31\/allowing-failure-to-lead-you\/\">Wrens<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my long-time followers, you know birds pop up in my work often.
